On tonight’s game as a learning experience:
Today was a lot like yesterday. The difference was the result. The biggest thing today was we just looked really tired. We looked like a team playing its first back-to-back of the season against a team that was rested and waiting for us. We were really fighting an uphill battle today. Ultimately just didn’t play well enough to be on the right side of this game.

On tonight’s game:
Offensively, we found a way to score goals again today. When you score five goals, you should win a hockey game a hundred per cent of the games that you play. Clearly through these two games, our issues have been defensively and how we take care of the puck coming out of our zone so that’s an area of emphasis for us. We’ll travel home here tonight, get a day off tomorrow and we’ll get ready to play a home game and then after that, we’ll get a bit of time to settle in and spend some time in practice because clearly we look like an unorganized team at this stage here. We’ve got a lot of work to do.
